Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi Everyone, What is everyone's take on sauna treatments? Has anyone tried Dr. Dahlgren's detoxification program or know anything about it? He is associated with UCLA and I am not sure that it's a good idea. Thanks. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Did you buy one Sharon? It's 15.00 for 15.00 and about 45 minutes away from where I live to go do a fir sauna. I haven't tried one at all yet. >> Infrared Dry Saunas are the best, I think. I usually sprits a little water on the lava rocks as it seems to make things heat up better. I also use a eucalyptus/sea salt rub and drink water while in the sauna. Don't get to do this as often as I would like or think I should. But when I do, I definitely feel like I have had a deep cleansing. Sharon K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 >Saunas work really well for me. When I got a particularly bad hit of toxins just last week my therapist told me to go do an hour or so in a sauna (I take breaks) to sweat out some of the toxins. This works for me and I always feel better after. Then again I also always feel better after giving blood whih removes toxins from my body too s I am guessing I am a strange not too average case. > Hi Everyone, > > What is everyone's take on sauna treatments?

Do that twice a week for 45 minutes and that is $90 per week or $360 a month. Too much! If someone was going to use one regularly, seems like it would be cheaper to buy or rent, eh? Haven't looked, but I bet there are some cheap ones on EBay these days. Sharon K **************Worried about job security? Check out the 5 safest jobs in a recession.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Barb, The reason it is posting that way is because I am stupid. I typically cut and paste what I am responding to, which makes it look like it is your posts. Sorry! Sharon K. In a message dated 3/9/2009 2:39:50 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 --- I am not familiar with that doctors program. I did a detox program for over a year and the sauna was the MOST imortant part of the program for me. The nice thing about sauna is that it will detox whatever your body needs to detox, where some other methods (like chelation) are for a specific toxin, like heavy metals. Sauna will eliminate whatever toxins you are dealing with. It was almost magical for me. I did sauna every day at 160+ degrees for 45 minutes. So, I can testify that sauna is a very important part of the detox program. D In , " le " <danielletoile@...> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > What is everyone's take on sauna treatments?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 No Sharon, It's even sillier than that. I was reading your post in the pending folder and because I was interested in the sauna subject, FORGOT I was in the pending folder and instead of 'approving it for posting', I responded to it, and then 'approved my response! Duh..I'll blame it on mold on brain syndrome. I've ALMOST done this a number of times, but this is the first time I've actually done it. > > Barb, > > The reason it is posting that way is because I am stupid.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you are running a fever like many who are " exposed " do, isn't it dangerous to expose the body to a higher temperature? I understand about " sweating out toxins " but doesn't a fever raise your cardiac risk? > > --- > I am not familiar with that doctors program.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 --- It was a Heavenly Heat dry sauna with added infrared panels. The ones with just the infrared are difficult to get to a high temp like 160. I started off doing it on a daily basis for probably 6-8 months and then to three times a week. I absolutely loved it. Have you seen the portable saunas Barb? I'm told they are sold on Ebay for around $150. and the people I spoke with are very happy with them..

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 The one and only time I was in sauna/hot tub it was at a hotel and I got reeaaly sick with a Trichomonas infection...I think the infection was power boosted by the sauna...mine was a terrible experience...but it wwas also a public place...sooo I don't know other wise...but I can tell you that I will never go into public pool, tubs or saunas...heck I paranoid about public restrooms...as that is probably the culprit of lasat trich infection in dec...I keep telling every one my rearend is going to hace toilet rings from clorax wiping every time lol!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 - It would be my guess that the infection was from the hot tub, not the sauna. It would be hard to " catch " an infeciton from a sauna, but hot tubs are a different story.
